Carlo Suares and the 22 Thought-Forms of Spirituality (1892–1976)Carlo Suares makes use of Fabre D’Olivet’s work and his access to Kabbala to synthesize and reveal an entirely new perspective on Moses original Genesis letter sequences, entirely replacing the Anthropomorphic religious translations that emerged out of Chaldean punctuation and calcified by Greek / Christian mistranslations.If you're into 'Kabbalah', Carlo Suares is your portal.See www.psyche.com.Art pieces by Carlo below.(Edit 2 on 26.Dec.19)Modern Kabbalist Carlo Suares (1892–1976) of Egyptian Sephardi lineage, lived and died with little recognition for revealing a Science of Consciousness coded within the three primary texts of Kabbalah (Book of Formation, the first 5 Chapters of Genesis, and the ‘Song of Songs’). Note Suares uses the spelling Qabala.The following notes are from the website http://psyche.com/ (all about Suares’ work and highly, highly recommended reading), from the page http://www.psyche.com/psyche/qbl/revivedqabala.htmlSuares "formulates" Qabala in terms best suited for modern scientific, rational and objective minds, as an analogical/ontological language of the structure of consciousness and energy.Suares defines Qabala as:“the science of the structure of energy and consciousness: a completely-generalized semantically-accurate projective language dealing with biologically structured energies in different states of organization.”The knowledge that is called Qabala must no longer be reduced to a mere subject of study for seekers of recondite mysteries. It must now come to full light and penetrate serious minds."The synagogues can only ignore it because they have repudiated intelligence. They keep on reading and commenting on an archaic law which has no reality. The real knowledge of the Qabala recedes further and further every day because of the foolish teachings of amateur scholars who, having learned a few tricks which can be played with the letter-numbers, amuse the public with their speculations, or entertain their readers with strange stories concerning some ancient Rabbi." - Suares, The Cipher of Genesis, p.49
“The majority of cabalists are Jews enslaved to the Torah, and they have always asserted that one cannot know how to be a cabalist without practising the Mosaic law. In this way Mosaism both annexed and rejected the Qabala and made it unrecognizable."But the Qabala is not a derivative from, or a superstructure of, of a Heresy of Mosaism. The contrary is true: Moses was directed to give out this very ancient knowledge antedating Judaism in an historical sequence (and it is undeniable that the people who received it became its protective shell)."The Sepher Yetsira \[Book of Formation] leaves no doubt as to its anteriority and its cabalistic method: it never refers to Moses, or to his laws or to the historical Jewish people. It is outside the flow of time. Its only contact with history -- in language that has nothing anecdotal about it -- is the legendary Abraham.” - Suares, Sepher Yetsira, p.113
“No mere student of Qabala will ever understand the Qabala from within. Were he to read and re-read the Zohar, learn all about Simeon-Bar-Yohai, Moses of Leon, Abraham Abulafia or Knorr von Rosenroth's Kabbala Denudata, he would be trying to see by looking through the wrong end of a telescope.” … “Nothing is important except the knowledge that the key to that Revelation is to be found in the letter-numbers. When once we grasp that, we can grope our way through them, and our very first step will already have been taken inside their cosmic life.” - Suares, The Cipher of Genesis, p.47
"In brief, the Qabala today can be reborn neither in the Synagogue nor in the State that calls itself Israel. Both ignore it, so it ignores them. It has no valid motive for conforming to the very few Mosaic prescriptions which still survive and which every conforming Jew interprets according to his fancy.It must offer itself freely to minds which are free. It is no longer mysterious and occult. On the contrary, it is intelligible and marvellously intelligent. It is the very source of the civilizations that have gravitated around the Mediterranean which are today spreading all over our planet. It states the religious problem as it has to be stated in a time which the further the horizon recedes, the nearer we come to the Mystery. For such minds as are no longer bounded by ancient horizons and have thus become a mystery unto themselves, the totality of life is present in action. It is the Soliloquy of the One. This is the true Revelation, plainly visible to all.” - Suares, Sepher Yetsira, p.50
His analysis is groundbreaking, riveting, and of course controversial. He deconstructs that vagueries and superficialities within both Judaism and Christianity. He holds no punches. He teases his readers towards insight and realisation.
